The numbering is according to the lowest of locants, which gives us two options.


The IUPAC Name Of The Following Compound Is


In this case, numbering happens according to alphabetical order. So ethyl group will have the lower number.

word root = hex


primary prefix = cyclo


secondary prefix = 1-Ethyl-2-methyl


primary suffix = ane


IUPAC name is


(c)1-Ethyl-2-methylcyclohexane

Decide the parent chain and give the numbering so that more substituted substituent will get the least number.


The IUPAC Name Of The Following Compound Is?


parent chain


10 carbons ⇒ word root ⇒ dec


single bond ⇒ suffix ⇒ ane


substituents at C5 and C2


Now,
The IUPAC Name Of The Following Compound Is?


There is one more same substituent on C5


Therefore,


   5,5-Bis-(1,1-dimethyl propyl)


Bis⇒ Because two same substituents are there, and a methyl group at C2⇒ 2-methyl


Therefore,


   5,5-Bis-(1,1-dimethylpropyl)-2-methyldecane


Question 5.


The IUPAC name of the following compound is?


The IUPAC Name Of The Following Compound Is?


  1.     2-Methyl-3,2-methylethylpentane
  2.     3-Ethyl-2,3-dimethylpentane
  3.     3,2-Methylethyl-2-methylpentane
  4.     None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 3-Ethyl-2,3-dimethylpentane
:
B

Decide parent chain.


Numbering so that more substituted substituent will get the lowest number.


The IUPAC Name Of The Following Compound Is?


Five carbons ⇒ word root = pent


                                    single bonds = ane(suffix)


→ substituent at C2 and C3


⇒ 3-ethyl-2, 3-dimethylpentane(alphabetically)


Therefore,


                (b) 3-Ethyl-2,3-dimethylpentane


Question 6.


The IUPAC name of the following compound is?


CH3−CH2−CH2−C|HCH3−CH2−CH3|CH−CH3


  1.     2,4-Dimethylheptane
  2.     4,6-Dimethylheptane
  3.     2,4-Methylheptane
  4.     2,3-Ethylheptane
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 2,4-Dimethylheptane
:
A

Our first step should be to choose the longest chain from the given alkane.
Although there are 9 carbon atoms in total, the longest chain contains only 7 carbon atoms.


The IUPAC Name Of The Following Compound Is?CH3−CH2−CH2â...
Primary suffix = ane


Word root = hept 


If we number the chain, as shown above, the two methyl substituents are at C4 and C6


Now, let's look at another case.
The IUPAC Name Of The Following Compound Is?CH3−CH2−CH2â...
Now we have substituents at C2 and C4. In both cases, there are exactly two substituents.
We choose the numbering direction that gives the lowest set of locants.


Hence, secondary prefix = 2,4-dimethyl (since there are two methyl groups-one each at C2 and C4


Hence, the IUPAC name is 2,4-Dimethylheptane


 


Question 7.


The IUPAC name of this compound is?


The IUPAC Name Of This Compound Is?


  1.     3-Ethyl-4,4-dimethylheptane
  2.     1,1-Diethyl-2,2-dimethylpentane
  3.     4,4-Dimethyl-5,5-diethylpentane
  4.     5,5-Diethyl-4,4-dimethylpentane
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 3-Ethyl-4,4-dimethylheptane
:
A

First, check the parent chain.
Now, give numbers such that the more substituted substituent will get the lowest number.
The IUPAC Name Of This Compound Is?
Parent chain
7 carbon ⇒ hept (word root)
Single bonds ⇒ ane (suffix
→ substituent at C3 and C4 3-ethyl-4,4-dimethyl(alphabetically)
Therefore, 3-Ethyl-4,4-dimethylheptane


Question 8.


The systematic (IUPAC) name of tertiary butyl chloride is:


  1.     t-Butyl-chloride
  2.     tert-Butyl-chloride
  3.     1-Chloro-3-methylpropane
  4.     2-Chloro-2-methylpropane
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 2-Chloro-2-methylpropane
:
D

The given compound tertiary butyl chloride is


The Systematic (IUPAC) Name Of Tertiary Butyl Chloride Is:   
It is numbered as shown.


The longest chain clearly includes 3 carbon atoms


⇒  root word = prop


primary suffix = ane


Secondary prefix = 2-chloro-2-methyl


Hence the name (systematic IUPAC) of given compound is:


(d) 2-Chloro-2-methylpropane


Question 9.


IUPAC name of the following compound is CH3CH=CHCH?


  1.     5-Pentyn-3-ene
  2.     3-Penten-1-yne
  3.     1-Pentyn-3-ene
  4.     None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 3-Penten-1-yne
:
B

1CH352CH4=3CH34C25CH1
From lowest sum rule, we will select 1,3 and not 2,4


Five carbons word root = pent


3-Penten-1-yne


Question 10.


What is the IUPAC name of the following compound?
CH3CH2C|CH3=CHCH2CH3|CHCH2CH3


  1.     3,6-Dimethyl-3-octene
  2.     3,6-Dimethyl-5-octene
  3.     2-Ethyl-5-methyl-2-heptene
  4.     None of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 3,6-Dimethyl-3-octene
:
A

Parent chain is
1CH32CH23C|CH3=4CH5CH2CH36|CH7CH28CH3
